This study aims to analyze the comparison between the curriculum of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) and Elementary Schools (SD) in shaping students' religious character. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed to explore in depth the differences and similarities of the two curricula, particularly in the aspects of religious values integrated into the learning process.

Law that is just and in line with social values adopted by society. This role is increasingly relevant in facing modern challenges, where understanding and application of the teachings of the Qur'an have an important role in the formation of legal norms in Muslim society. As a holy book, the Qur'an provides moral and ethical guidelines that form the basis for the Islamic legal system. Through its various verses, the Qur'an establishes the principles of justice, goodness, and social responsibility that influence individual behavior and interactions between members of society. The purpose of this study is to explore the values of Islamic law related to the role of the Qur'an in the formation of legal norms. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, by making books, magazines, articles and journals related to the research theme to collect data, then codify it, and then describe it in this article. The results of this study indicate that the application of Islamic law is largely determined by the Qur'an and Sunnah. Laws taken from sources other than the Qur'an and Sunnah will not last long, because the law is made by humans. So that potentially whoever is in power is the one who determines the law. In addition, the Qur'an also provides concrete rules regarding aspects of life, such as marriage, inheritance, and crime, which are then interpreted and applied in the context of sharia law. Thus, the Qur'an not only functions as a spiritual source, but also as a basis for the formation of norms that need to be adjusted to social dynamics and developing legal needs.

This article examines the influence of global legal systems on the formation of legislation in Indonesia. Historically, Indonesia adopted the Continental European legal system inherited from the Netherlands as the foundation of its national legal framework. Over time, Indonesia’s legal system has also been shaped by principles of common law, Islamic law, and customary law, deeply rooted in the nation's culture. This study aims to analyze how the interplay of these diverse legal systems has contributed to the development of a unique and complex national legal structure. Employing a literature review and normative analysis method, the research explores how elements from various global legal systems have enriched Indonesia’s legal framework. The findings reveal that, while this diversity enhances the national legal system, it also presents challenges in harmonizing and synchronizing existing regulations. This study offers valuable insights into the dynamics of cross-system legal influences in the Indonesian context and their implications for national legal reform.
